Wonderful to meet you ghall512! I love Simon's Cat! How old are your kids? My son is 11, a daughter who just turned 10 and another daughter who will turn six in a couple weeks.Every one here has been lovely with all the warm welcomes. I look forward to getting to know you.

I have two sons, ages 23 and 15, and a daughter, age 20. Only my youngest lives with me now. My daughter is married and is about to have her second daughter in May. What part of Canada do you call home?

I'm living in Alberta and freezing our butts off here! :)! Had to keep the kids home from school because of a -44 w/c and we have to walk to school. At those temps, their skin can freeze. Might have to stay home again tomorrow if it doesn't get warmer.

Alberta! I was there in 2000 for the Stampede. I LOVED IT! I'd move there in a heartbeat. I stayed in downtown Calgary, but also made visits to Canmore, Banff, Jasper, and Edmonton. There was nothing I didn't like about it except having to leave.

That's wonderful ghall512! Glad you liked your visit here. I've been all over Canada. I prefer living on the east or west coasts myself. Spent most of my childhood in Nova Scotia. I miss living by the ocean.

faithfulservant...we used to have a cat but the landlord doesn't allow pets. That's okay right now as my son is allergic to dogs and cats so when he moves out of the house I'll get one. I keep pics of my cats I had in the past around my bed so I can see them every day. I miss them.
